Nelle scorse ore Undead Labs ha lanciato un nuovo aggiornamento relativo a State of Decay 2, survival per PC e Xbox One disponibile dallo scorso mese sulle piattaforme Microsoft.
L’update, delle dimensioni di circa 20 GB, mira a correggere tutta una serie di bug e glitch segnalati nell’ultimo periodo, oltre a introdurre una valanga di novità e modifiche grafiche e strutturali. Non mancano bilanciamenti a livello di gameplay, modifiche all’HUD e un rafforzamento dell’infrastruttura di rete.
Ecco di seguito la lista completa delle novità (in inglese):
